AFCON 2027 QUALIFIERS: Nigeria Lead Wide-Open East-West Contest

Nigeria headline Group L as favourites thanks to their attacking firepower and depth across Europeโ€™s top leagues.

Still, this group may prove more difficult than expected. Madagascar and Tanzania have both improved considerably in recent years, while Guinea-Bissau remain a stubborn opponent with strong tournament experience.

Nigeriaโ€™s biggest challenge may be maintaining consistency across away fixtures, where several African giants have struggled in recent qualification campaigns.

Madagascar and Tanzania both possess enough quality to make the group highly competitive, especially if they can secure strong results at home against the favourites.
